WE’VE BEEN KEEPING A LITTLE SECRET…

We said we were taking the Gladstone BBQ Festival to the NEXT LEVEL… and apparently we meant that literally.

That’s right — Great Ocean Helicopters will be joining us on the day, giving you the chance to take to the skies and see the Gladstone BBQ Festival from a completely different angle.

Imagine looking down over the festival, the crowds, the BBQ teams, the food vendors, the rides and all the action from a helicopter.

This is CRAZY.

BBQ. Live music. Kids rides. Cooking demos. Competitive eating. Chilli wings. Show & shine. AND NOW HELICOPTER JOY FLIGHTS.

We told you this year was going to be BIG.

ONLY 6 DAYS TO GO.

If there’s one event you don’t want to miss this year, this is it.

Tag the crew you’re bringing and share this around — Gladstone BBQ Festival is going to be one hell of a day.

🧑‍🌾 FLANNO FOR A FARMER DAY ❤️🌾

Today we’re throwing on the flanno and getting behind a cause that means a hell of a lot to Aussie farming communities.

Farmers are the backbone of this country. They battle droughts, floods, rising costs, isolation and plenty of bloody tough days — often without saying much about it.

So TODAY ONLY, every BBQ Bliss shaker sold helps support Flanno for a Farmer.

🔥 $1 donated from every single shaker sold
🔥 $2 donated from every 3-pack sold

But we want to take it one step further…

❤️ Whatever that total comes to, WE’RE MATCHING IT FROM OUR OWN POCKET.

So if today’s sales raise $500, we’ll make it $1,000.

Grab some rubs, chuck on your favourite flanno and help us put a few extra dollars behind the people who keep Australia fed.

Every shaker counts. Every 3-pack counts. And today, every dollar we raise goes twice as far. 🇦🇺🌾

Let’s get behind our farmers.

We can’t thank you guys enough for all the support. What started as a vision to bring people closer together and start the conversation around men’s mental health. Because of all the amazing support we have decided to give away a family pass to one lucky family on Facebook and one on Instagram. All you have to do is like this post and nominate the favourite person in your life and why they deserve a day out on us. If you want purchase tickets you can get them from down below.
